.. at the 2014 Second Life Christmas Expo (1) ..

The 2014 Christmas Expo and Breedables Fair opened on December 4th. The Expo and Breedables Fair is an annual event that support and raises funds for Relay For Life of Second Life to benefit American Cancer Society.  Vendors sharing creations for avatars, homes, gardens, building and the ever popular breedables span across the 8 sims decked out as a winter wonderland.  There are events such as the Hunt for the Bells, Christmas Tree Lot, pics with Santa, ice skating, musical entertainment, auctions and more.  The Expo and Fair will continue until December 15, so be sure to visit and find just the right gifts, outfits, decorations and your new favorite breedable!

The outfit I am wearing came from one of the vendors at the Christmas Expo, Tayren’s Fantasy Fashions.  This outfit comes with the dress, the underskirt, the stole and wristlets, wings, crown and hair.  Not shown includes skin, shape, eyes and boots.  The proceeds of the purchase of this outfit will be donated to Relay For Life of Second Life. I paired this up with the December skin in arctic from Glam Affair, currently found at The Arcade and some cute ice skates from MCS.

.. just a few more days of 2014 HGE ..

On September 28th, the 2014 SL Home and Garden Expo will close.  9 sims of amazing home and garden designs from approximately 90 creators, so if you haven’t been … go now!  A fundraising event for Relay For Life of Second Life, the HGE brings us a lot to see.  I’ve been multiple times and every time I see something that I had not seen before.  I put together another little scene to show off some more of the items found at this year’s expo.

.. black tulip @ 2014 SL home & garden expo ..

The 2014 SL Home & Garden Expo is underway and will be open until the 28th.  Today, I am sharing one of the awesome builds from Auryn Beorn of Black Tulip, a Platinum Sponsor of the event.  Auryn brings for one of her new exclusive items for the event, a sweet little build “My Little School”.   This cute build is a perfect one-room school with great windows and a small front porch.  Inside you will find a large room with a smaller planning or storage area as well.  Auryn has set this build out as one of her items with 100% of the purchase price being donated to Relay For Life of Second Life via the official RFL vendor.  The other item that Black Tulip has available in the RFL vendor is the set “The Classroom” that supplies the desks and blackboards for a perfect school room set up.  Black Tulip is a wonderful supplier for the builder/designer in SL as well as for others pulling together a realistic setting.  Auryn build a beautiful greenhouse with its first showing at Expo as well.  Stop in to see Black Tulip and peruse the poses, the full perm items, and the classes – books and books to help you learn about scripting, posing, meshing and more!

I decided that this little school needed to be filled with eager little students and I filled it up with some bears from BoOgErS, some hipsters from Birdy/Alchemy and a wolf from Silent Sparrow.  Adding in to the scene are school items from Milk Motion, Sari Sari and Little Hopper.  Rounding out the fun are some pedal cars and tricycles from Snips and Snails and Little Hopper.  All of this found at the September round of The Arcade Gacha Event.
